A winning moment, ready for your next round.
The Holyn Handley Victory Edition Raptor celebrates her win at the 2026 OTB Open, her second DGPT victory of that season. This commemorative Discraft release pairs a story worth remembering with a practical overstable fairway-driver role.
Listed in Z Sparkle plastic with 9 / 4 / 0 / 3 flight numbers, it is an option for controlled hyzers, forehand placement, and drives where you want a defined finish rather than easy high-speed turn.
Celebrate the win without shelving the disc
Victory Edition releases mark standout moments from Team Discraft athletes. This Raptor gives Holyn fans a connection to her OTB Open win, whether they choose to throw it, collect it, or display it.
The commemorative identity does not imply a different mold or guaranteed flight change. Choose it for the player connection and edition, then learn how your individual disc fits into your game.
Z Sparkle feel and durability
Z Sparkle brings durable construction, a crisp feel, and sparkle within the plastic. It is a choice for players who prefer that feel over an extra-flexible blend.
Select the numbered black-disc option with the foil you prefer. Sparkle is a visual feature, not a glow designation or a promise of added stability.
Control the route with a stronger finish
The Raptor resists high-speed turn and moves into a fading finish as it slows. With suitable power and a clean release, it can carry forward before fading; at lower speeds, expect an earlier finish and less distance.
For a right-hand backhand, that fade moves left. A right-hand forehand reverses the direction. Leave room for that arc when choosing your starting line and landing area.
Useful shots to build around
- Forehand placement: An overstable option for clean sidearm releases that need a defined finish.
- Backhand hyzers: Work an outside route with room for a finishing arc.
- Flex lines: Explore an anhyzer-to-fade flight when your power, height, and available space suit the shot.
- Utility routes: Consider wide finishes and skip lines when the landing surface allows for them.
You step up to a guarded landing zone with an open route around the outside. The Raptor gives you a reason to choose that route deliberately: set the angle, commit to a clean release, and give the finish room to develop. Holyn’s victory provides the story; learning the disc gives it a place in your rounds.
Where it fits in the bag
Players seeking an overstable fairway driver are the clearest fit. It complements straighter drivers by adding a distinct option for hyzers and stronger-finishing shots, rather than replacing every fairway mold.
Lower-power players may find a utility role but should expect early fade. Wind still affects overstable discs, and neither recovery from an anhyzer nor a particular skip is guaranteed.
